When Life Hands you Tomatoes, Make Salsa!

Ok…I know you’d think in my American-Italian ways I’d say sauce instead of salsa but it’s hot outside and the men of this household, well…one man and one small boy, are eating a jar of salsa every couple of days. So salsa it is!

My father in law decided to plant 4 small tomato plants on this tiny stretch of dirt next to his house and they are taking off like mad. He keeps bringing me bags of them so I needed to find a way to use them up quickly. I’ve never made salsa before so decided to piece together a few different recipes I found online. I love the idea of roasting all the veggies first but also love fresh cilantro and lime. So here is what I came up with…fabulous! It’s amazing how much flavor you get from making salsa from scratch…and simple!
